itunes and vista problem ...

Did you update your audio drivers lately via Windows Update and receive an
error? If so, roll them back to the previous version.

The answer is at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305409 follow
exactly and it WILL work (don't forget your downloads folder).

In addition to that already offerred, consider the follwing. If you save the
iTunes setup program to your drive and then try to install by opening that
file, you will sometimes get the message "not a valid Win32 application".
Instead of saving the download, select "run" and the program should install
normally. If it still won't install, see below.

I had the same problem with iTunes/QuickTime and Roxio/Sonic. Before Vista
will let you update/install a newer version of a program, all remnants of the
program must be completely removed from your system. Since the Vista
uninstall feature sometimes does a poor job at this, these remnants often
have to be removed manually. The following tutorial shows how to do this:

I have recently updated the tutorial to include the use of the program Smarty
Uninstaller which will track down broken pieces of install/uninstall debris
and remove them from your system. Details in the updated tutorial.
